I recently got this error when trying to build a Windows container (specifically microsoft/dotnet-framework:4.7.2-sdk) on my Windows 10 laptop:

no matching manifest for unknown in the manifest list entries

I was surprised that I couldn’t build Windows containers on my Windows laptop, but then I recalled that Docker for Windows let you choose between running Linux containers or Windows containers. As I until now had exclusively ran Linux containers, my Docker was set up to run Linux containers, but configuring Docker to run Windows containers fixed the issue.
